Glad to hear that Liq - and good to see your Dad as well although without football I have no idea what I'd be talking about for more than 10 minutes RE: Boris says go back to work - The liquidator - 05-12-2020 He is getting very restless and wants to go out .

This weeks figures in this morbid fucking table are in, so as an update to week 18 (up to 1st May, so not including last week) U45s - 2019 6429 vs 2020 6683, again small difference U65s - 29,905 vs 34,353, a difference of 4.5k. Showing a slow down for the week 18 figures compared to the previous 4, so heading in the right direction. All - 247,261 vs 196,726 - a difference of over 50k which unfortunately is still massive but actually the extra deaths in the week has reduced from the previous 4 as with U65s. All of this whilst in lockdown. It has been an almighty gamble that the govt has taken with the timing of the release just as we start to see a reduction in the extra deaths comparitively.

I agree with your first paragraph; if the circulation of goods and people between countries and continents is to carry on increasing as it has, more questions do need to be asked about safety and environmental standards, and perhaps less fixation on price. But it's reasonable to look at the other side of the equation as well: how ineffective we were in preventing the virus from reaching the UK, and then containing the spread when it did. There's a story about Harold MacMillan being asked what was most likely to derail a government, and him replying "Events, dear boy, events". Chances are it never actually happened, but there's still some truth in that reply, even if he never actually said it. |
